PRIVACY AT ZIPLINE
Thoughtful, Secure, and Transparent.
We take a thoughtful approach to privacy, seeking security and transparency in the service we provide.
Read below for more information about how our delivery system works.
When we fly and deliver
Zipline has built FlightIQ, a revolutionary autonomy and perception system that is purpose-built to enable Zips to fly, navigate, and deliver smartly and safely. Just like cars have sensors to avoid obstacles, Zips use the FlightIQ sensor suite to enable smart, reliable, safe delivery. FlightIQ helps us do this by deepening our understanding of the airspace we fly, the topography of the land below, and any potential obstacles.

PURPOSE-BUILT COLLECTION
Using data to support safe and reliable flights
When we fly and make deliveries, FlightIQ enables us to rely on the data we need to support the safety, reliability, and precision of every delivery flight and to improve operations.
Image obfuscation
Respecting your privacy
Zipline applies industry-standard tools to blur people who are within the delivery area and outside property lines. FlightIQ does not identify individual people and cannot see things like license plates or inside windows of a home at cruising altitude.

Healthcare data
Avoiding sensitive healthcare data
We don’t need (or seek) access to the contents of your orders to make health system-related deliveries in the U.S. Like many traditional delivery providers, our system is designed to collect only enough information to safely transport your delivery from point A to point B and comply with relevant healthcare laws. We have designed our services not to know what’s inside the Zip making health system deliveries — just the weight, volume, and carriage requirements (like temperature and handling instructions) of the package.
Secure storage
Storing data in secure cloud facilities
We store data collected during flights on secure cloud servers that are protected by strict industry-standard physical and digital security protections.
Security validation
Screening for malicious attacks and actors
We perform periodic digital threat screening and regular penetration testing to help us detect and prevent attacks from malicious actors.
